One editor setup cannot satisfy all of the diverse preferences of all "religious" editor users. You have to support significant customisation to "convert" us.

Maybe the editor should be customisable via Dark itself?

Alternatively, allow us to use our editor-of-choice and provide a language server to facilitate the creation of structured editing plugins for Dark.

I would add that most applications, including most non-vi-or-emacs editors and web browsers, do not allow much customisation of how their input is mapped to actions in the software. For someone like me, a person that is a vi die-hard because of its ergonomics, this is absolutely critical. Post-input customisation, no matter how advanced, cannot satisfy this need.

That's the plan!
